Dose any1 make turbo kit for 83 LG4?

I was wanting to bolt on a turbo charger or possibly a twin turbo to my 83 LG4. the only mods It has are headers, a flowmaster, and K & N open element. Would I be able to put a turbo kit on with these mods or would I have to upgrade my transmission?

My engine is putting out like 300hp right now, and im afraid a turbo might break the transmission.

Aparently sarcasm doesn't travel well over wires......

LG4, L98, L69, blah blah blah...all Chevy. GM is GM one is the same as the other. If you can find a turbo kit for any carbed SBC it will work.

but unforntunately you wont find the kit either way. no one currently makes a turbo kit for ANY thirdgen car.

And i'll second your car not pushing 300hp

Gee Blockhead... I'll tell you a site for a turbo kit that should put you solidly into the 11s with no problems!

Turbofordummys.com

Hope you find it suits your needs!
